Lonely Planet: France 14

Lonely Planet just released a guidebook I updated: France! I did the section on Lyon & the Rhône Valley. Buy it here.

I almost didn’t want to go on a safari. I thought it’d be too overcrowded and way out of my price range. But I easily found a reasonably-priced tour to Maasai Mara from Nairobi (around $300US for 3 days) and it was an experience of a lifetime. Saw a cheetah, 8 lions, so many giraffes, dozens of elephants and buffalo and a 5-legged zebra (hehe). But more than ticking the animals off a list, it was amazing to see nature in all its wonderful wildness. Just hope it can stay this way. #fujifilm #fujixt20 #maasaimara #safari #elephant #cheetah #zebra #lion #maasai #kenya
